Answer

There are 2 main school debate organizations in the US.  They are the APDA and the NPDA.  Do a search on Google.com or Yahoo.com video using "APDA debate" or "NPDA debate" and you should have many clips to choose from (be sure to use the .com sites and not the .cn or .com.cn since you are searching for American videos).  Those two organizations use different styles of debate so you may want to go to their websites to see how they compare.  APDA - http://www.apdaweb.org/  NPDA - http://www.parlidebate.org/
